anticipate ZOMBIELAND

preview before district 9 had me loling, anticipating

yea this & the sorority movie both looked better than shutter island imo

jesse eisenberg + emma stone + zombies = must watch.

I CANNOT WAIT FOR THIS!!!!!!!

its ok

who wrote it?

a zombie

so is this any good? Friends on facebook are raving about it. Somehow I can't imagine it being all that good.

I really cannot wait to see this.

Didn't think I'd ever say this, but I'm currently a bit bored of zombies.

Yeah, I've avoided a lot of the recent zombie fare. I haven't read any more than a sample chapter or two of Max Brooks' books, I haven't played Left 4 Dead (I has a PS3). This one looks like a lot of fun, though.

What I'm REALLY bored with at this point is vampires.

I thought this was cute, though Shaun of the Dead is a better Zom-Com imo.

Was not expecting the big Weird Al Yancovic cameo.

^ SPOILER! ^

Zombies are dead to me. About a decade ago, I was a huge fan of zombie flicks, but it's hard now to even imagine getting excited about one. Too many of them, and too few that really understand the nature of the beast.

we need moar werewolf flicks imo

Doesn't somebody or other have a big wearwolf movie coming out this fall?

Guillermo del Toro and Anthony Hopkins. Looks like ass.

yeah, that's it. and yeah, it does.

This was fun. Weird Al where?

dang this was a LOT of fun. not particularly effective as a horror movie (there are big chunks of the movie with no zombies) but it made me laugh a lot and the action scenes were great.

does it hold a candle to Braindead (Dead Alive)? that is obv the gold standard of zomcom

^^ It is indeed: zombie children, zombie clergy, and the lawnmower. As far as a device for mass zombie killing, the lawnmower was very influential on future movies.

it isn't really the same thing, like i said above zombieland isn't really much of a horror movie, it's more like a goofy action road-trip comedy that happens to have zombies in it.

:/

if you want dead alive just watch fucking dead alive, geez

will do!

this was hilarious

it was fun! when the gates of the hollywood mansion said "B.M." my first guess was that it would be bette midler. glad I was wrong.

fantastic, tasteful use of "For Whom The Bell Tolls" in the opening credits too

liked it enough that I won't take issue with the fact that if you shoot a control box on a ride that is using hydraulic power to hoist you safely above the gang of zombies, more than likely it will cause the ride to lose power and therefore drop you into the very gang of zombies you are attempting to avoid.

Metallica in the opening credits blew my mind.

just watched this, liked it. and yeah, metallica beginning awesome

Dying Bill Murray was pretty hilarious

you spoiled it

:(! sorry! plse delete my post

otm

Finally saw this, wish I would have seen it sooner. Very funny and major <3 for Emma Stone in this.

I saw this last night. I almost turned it off after Woody Harrelson had his first Twinkie fit. It got better but it was pretty average, imo. Cuet girl tho!

felt like i was watching an extremely long, superbowl-style commercial for twinkies, interrupted halfway through by a shorter superbowl-style ad for ghostbusters. in spite of that, opening credits were great and i had a good time up til the schmaltzy/pat ending.

i liked this movie well enough but it will never beat these twinkie commercials:

true

yeah this was very entertaining, surpassed my expectations. Jesse Eisenberg would've been better cast as one of the zombies, though, given his miniscule range of facial expressions and vocal inflections.

nah eisenberg deadpan makes lols

it is kind of crazy that even in a trash-talkin "fun" zombie movie there is this unstoppable need for a sappy, traditional structure based on a tickbox checklist of "motivations" and ending with a closing credits kiss

would have been slightly redeemed if harrelson had actually sacrificed himself in the themepark kiosk like it seemed he was going to (all because of eisenberg's cold-as-ice comment that the girls "are photos in someone's wallet, too") but well i guess that version didn't focus-group as well

"nut up or shut up" is a pathetic catchphrase

however it was perfect new year's day viewing

emma stone reminds me uncannily of a certain lauren p, formerly of this bailiwick

best part was jesse throwing the toiletpaper roll at the attacking zombie girl's head

he has a TERRIBLE voice. they should have gotten a stunt narrator

^^^

maybe have it narrated by an older version of himself 25 years later and voiced by some familiar middle-aged actor, Wonder Years/How I Met Your Mother style

that would have helped. A LOT. honestly, how is this guy a hot property? his face is capable of one expression. his voice is DOA, swallowed somewhere around his epiglottis before it ever sees the light of day. it's like hollywood has these little cubbyholes into which only one actor is allowed to reside at any given time. time was, the young nerd role would have been filled by anthony michael hall. golden years!

look at me, I'm complaining about the acting in a movie called zombieland

Always thought Harrelson shd have gotten the girl, btw. Plenty of time for the scary/awesome younger one to grow up and fall for Mr Whatshisface "I'm so sensitive and also very, very weak."

There's gonna be a sequel. I'm hoping it will be darker and more niche while still being funny

I can't complain about Zombieland 1 though

Was originally supposed to be a tv show (its basically the first two episodes of the series). I wonder if it would have been as profitable/more profitable given the huge success of the Walking Dead..

Was originally supposed to be a tv show (its basically the first two episodes of the series)

This makes a tremendous amount of sense

this was so much better than the walking dead

I enjoyed Zombieland but Shaun of the Dead is way better. Yes I am British.

Well of course it is, no matter where you're from!

thought zombieland worked very well on its own level, i like eisenberg.

There's something about the way his obvious nerdiness meshes with his permanent look of blank, cro-magnon befuddlement which I find incredibly unappealing

well there was another little boy with a look of cro-magnon befuddlement once and you know who he grew up to be JESUS CHRIST

omg what happened? are you ok? i need to know who he grew up to be!

yeah sorry dude nearly knocked me down cycling on footpath, anyway that kid grew up to become a supervisor in an apple store true story

Sequel news in a heap here:
